The Philadelphia Orchestra

“Carl St. Clair made an impression as a solid and often imaginative leader. If there is any test of a conductor’s skills, it is Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé. St. Clair handled the bloated forces of the ballet’s Suite No. 2 with skill and elegance.”

“St. Clair and his fabulous orchestra completely won over Hanover…with spirit, a sense of sound and utterly breathtaking precision.”

Komische Oper Berlin

“The concert began with the dramatic and indestructible overture to Bernstein’s Candide, and after this piece, which lasts less than five minutes, one already knew quite a bit about Carl St. Clair, his working economy, his mastery, his taste and his showmanship…a new, heartier tone will enter the Komische Oper with St. Clair.”

BERLIN ZEITUNG

Brooklyn Philharmonic

“[Ute Lemper] the mesmerizing German singer and actress…had an excellent partner in the dynamic conductor Carl St. Clair…[St. Clair’s] vivid performance of Ravel’s Tombeau de Couperin served as a setup to Ms. Lemper, who returned to sing four chansons…”

Los Angeles Philharmonic

“St. Clair performed honorably. He is a reliable technician, and agreeable podium personality and a solid, informed musician. He had the musical challenges well in hand.”
